FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods to identify document transitions between adjacent documents within document bundles.

BACKGROUND

Multiple, separate documents may be combined into a single document bundle and may be stored in a single electronic file for various reasons, such as file transfer. Automated content extraction of electronic documents is known. Training models to make certain classifications or decisions is known, for example as used in machine learning.

SUMMARY

One aspect of the present disclosure includes a system configured to identify document transitions between adjacent documents within document bundles. A document bundle may be a combination of two or more documents stored in a single electronic file. The system may be configured to obtain training information. The training information may include training document bundles and corresponding document separation markers. The training document bundles may include a first training bundle. The first training bundle may combine at least a first document and a second document. A document separation marker may indicate where a document transition occurs. A document transition may be a page break in the first training bundle where the first document ends and the second document begins. The first document may include a first page. The second document may include a second page. The system may be further configured to determine page-specific feature information pertaining to individual pages of the first training bundle. The page-specific information pertaining to an individual page may characterize features of the individual page for which feature information is obtained. The page-specific feature information may include first page-specific feature information pertaining to the first page and second page-specific feature information pertaining to the second page. The system may be further configured to determine, based on the obtained page-specific feature information, page-specific feature values for individual features of the individual pages of the first training bundle. The page-specific feature values may numerically represent the individual features of the individual pages. First page-specific feature values may be determined for the first page, based on the first page-specific feature information. Second page-specific feature values may be determined for the second page, based on the second page-specific feature information. The system may be further configured to generate, for the individual pages of the first training bundle, a page-specific feature vector. A first page-specific feature vector pertaining to the first page may be generated and may be based on the first page-specific feature values. A second page-specific feature vector pertaining to the second page may be generated and may be based on the second page-specific feature values. The individual page-specific feature vectors may have a fixed dimension. The system may be further configured to train a model, using the training document bundles, to determine whether the first page and the second page are part of different documents. The model may make a determination based on comparing the first page-specific feature vector and the second page-specific feature vector. Training the model may include comparing the determination with the obtained corresponding document separation markers.

Another aspect of the present disclosure includes a system configured to utilize a trained model to identify document transitions between adjacent documents within document bundles. The system may be configured to store, in electronic storage, the trained model. The trained model may have been trained to determine whether a first training page and a second training page are part of different documents. The trained model may have been trained to make a determination based on comparing a first training-page-specific feature vector pertaining to the first training page and the second training-page-specific feature vector pertaining to the second training page. The first training-page-specific feature vector may be based on a first set of page-specific feature values that numerically represent individual features of the first training page. The second training-page-specific feature vector may be based on a second set of page-specific feature values that numerically represent individual features of the second training page. The system may be further configured to obtain a set of unseparated document bundles. The set of unseparated document bundles may include a first unseparated document bundle. The first unseparated document bundle may be stored in a single electronic file. The first unseparated document bundle may include a first page and a second page. The system may be further configured to determine page-specific feature information pertaining to individual pages of the first unseparated bundle. The page-specific information pertaining to an individual page may characterize features of the individual page for which feature information is obtained. The system may be further configured to determine, based on the obtained page-specific feature information, page-specific feature values for individual features of the individual pages of the first unseparated bundle. The page-specific feature values may numerically represent the individual features for which feature information is obtained. First page-specific feature values may be determined for the first page and second page-specific feature values may be determined for the second page. The system may be further configured to generate, for individual pages of the first unseparated bundle, a page-specific feature vector. A first page-specific feature vector pertaining to the first page may be generated and may be based on the first page-specific feature values. A second page-specific feature vector pertaining to the second page may be generated and may be based on the second page-specific feature values. The individual page-specific feature vectors may have a fixed dimension. The system may be further configured to make a determination, using the trained model, whether the first page and the second page are part of different documents. The determination may be based on a comparison of the first page-specific feature vector and the second page-specific feature vector. Determining that the first page and the second page are part of different documents may indicate that a document transition occurs between the first page and the second page. The system may be further configured to present to the user, via a user interface, whether the document transition occurs between the first page and the second page, based on the determination.

The second document may include a second page. The method may further comprise determining page-specific feature information pertaining to individual pages of the first training bundle. The page-specific information pertaining to an individual page may characterize features of the individual page for which feature information is obtained. The page-specific feature information may include first page-specific feature information pertaining to the first page and second page-specific feature information pertaining to the second page. The method may further comprise determining, based on the obtained page-specific feature information, page-specific feature values for individual features of the individual pages of the first training bundle.

A first page-specific feature vector pertaining to the first page may be generated and may be based on the first page-specific feature values. A second page-specific feature vector pertaining to the second page may be generated and may be based on the second page-specific feature values. The individual page-specific feature vectors may have a fixed dimension.

The model may make a determination based on comparing the first page-specific feature vector and the second page-specific feature vector. Training the model may include comparing the determination with the obtained corresponding document separation markers.

Another aspect of the present disclosure includes a method configured to utilize a trained model to identify document transitions between adjacent documents within document bundles. The method may comprise storing, in electronic storage, the trained model. The trained model may have been trained to determine whether a first training page and a second training page are part of different documents. The trained model may have been trained to make a determination based on comparing a first training-page-specific feature vector pertaining to the first training page and the second training-page-specific feature vector pertaining to the second training page. The first training-page-specific feature vector may be based on a first set of page-specific feature values that numerically represent individual features of the first training page. The second training-page-specific feature vector may be based on a second set of page-specific feature values that numerically represent individual features of the second training page. The method may further comprise obtaining a set of unseparated document bundles. The set of unseparated document bundles may include a first unseparated document bundle. The first unseparated document bundle may be stored in a single electronic file. The first unseparated document bundle may include a first page and a second page. The method may further comprise determining page-specific feature information pertaining to individual pages of the first unseparated bundle.

A second page-specific feature vector pertaining to the second page may be generated and may be based on the second page-specific feature values. The individual page-specific feature vectors may have a fixed dimension. The method may further comprise making a determination, using the trained model, whether the first page and the second page are part of different documents. The determination may be based on a comparison of the first page-specific feature vector and the second page-specific feature vector. Determining that the first page and the second page are part of different documents may indicate that a document transition occurs between the first page and the second page. The method may further comprise presenting to the user, via a user interface, whether the document transition occurs between the first page and the second page, based on the determination.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

FIG. 1 illustrates a system 100 configured to identify document transitions between adjacent documents within document bundles, in accordance with one or more implementations. A document bundle may be a combination of two of more separate documents and/or may be stored in a single electronic file. In some implementations, the document bundle may be stored in one or more of a portable document format (PDF), document format (DOC), Excel spreadsheet (XLS), HTML, portable network graphic format (PNG), Joint Photographic Experts Group format (JPG), tagged image file (TIF), and/or other file formats. An individual document in a document bundle may include one or more pages. The one or more pages may be arranged in sequential order or may be arranged out of sequential order.

In some implementations, system 100 may include one or more servers 102 and/or other components. Server(s) 102 may be configured to communicate with one or more client computing platforms 104 according to a client/server architecture and/or other architectures. Client computing platform(s) 104 may be configured to communicate with other client computing platforms via server(s) 102 and/or according to a peer-to-peer architecture and/or other architectures. Users may access system 100 via client computing platform(s) 104.

Server(s) 102 may be configured by machine-readable instructions 106. Machine-readable instructions 106 may include one or more instruction components. The instruction components may include computer program components. The instruction components may include one or more of information component 108, vector component 110, training component 112, and/or other instruction components.

Information component 108 may be configured to obtain training information. The training information may include training document bundles, document separation markers, and/or other information. The training document bundles may include a first training bundle, and/or may further include other training document bundles. The first training bundle may combine at least a first document, a second document and/or other documents. The first document may include a first page and/or other pages. The second document may include a second page and/or other pages. The training bundles may correspond to one or more document separation markers in the obtained training information and/or other training information. The document separation markers may be stored in one or more of a text file, a binary file, and/or other file formats and/or may be obtained from the user. In some implementations, training document bundles may be artificially generated by one or more machine learning algorithms, generated by the user, and/or obtained using other methods. The training document bundles may include one or more of concatenated documents, concatenated final pages of documents, and/or concatenated starting pages of document. By way of non-limiting example, a training document bundle may include one or more complete documents, such that the starting page, the final page, and/or intermediate pages are included for individual ones of the documents. By way of non-limiting example, a training document bundle may include one or more incomplete documents, such that the starting page and/or the final page are included for individual ones of the documents. A document separation marker may indicate where a document transition occurs. A document transition may be a page break in the first document bundle where the first document ends and the second document begins. In some implementations, the first training bundle may have indexed page-breaks (e.g., page break 0, page break 1, page break 2, etc.) that indicate positions in the document bundle between different pages. The training information may include 10s, or 100s, or 1000s of training document bundles, together with corresponding document separation markers, and/or other information.

Information component 108 may be further configured to determine page-specific feature information pertaining to individual pages of the first training bundle. The page-specific feature information pertaining to an individual page may characterize features of the individual page for which feature information is obtained. Features may include one or more of page number, page size, resolution, predominant font used, presence of one or more signatures, word usage, formatting style, and/or other page information. In some implementations, features for which feature information is obtained may be selected by one or more of machine learning algorithms, machine learning processes (e.g. a convolutional neural network), and/or manually selected by the user and/or other methods. By way of non-limiting example, page-specific feature information pertaining to a first page may include the predominant use of Times New Roman font and/or other fonts. The page-specific feature information may further include the page having a page number of 4 and/or other page numbers. In some implementations, page-specific feature information may characterize 5 features, 15, features, 50 features, and/or other numbers of features pertaining to a particular page. In some implementations, the page-specific feature information pertaining to pages may characterize a different number of features. By way of non-limiting example, a document bundle may include a first page, a second page, and/or other pages. First page-specific feature information may be determined and may pertain to the first page. The first page-specific feature information may characterize 25 features in the first page. Second page-specific feature information may be determined and may pertain to the second page. The second page-specific feature information may characterize 15 features in the second page. In some implementations, page-specific feature information may characterize the same number of features for all pages for which page-specific feature information is obtained. By way of non-limiting example, a document bundle may include a first page, a second page, and/or other pages. First page-specific feature information may be determined and may pertain to the first page. Second page-specific feature information may be determined and may pertain to the second page. First page-specific feature information and second page-specific feature information may characterize the same number of features. The features characterized by the first page-specific feature information may be the same features characterized by the second page-specific feature information.

Vector component 110 may be configured to determine, based on the obtained page-specific feature information, page-specific feature values for individual features of the individual pages of the first training bundle. By way of non-limiting example, first page-specific feature values may be determined for the first page, based on the first page-specific feature information, and second page-specific feature values may be determined for the second page, based on the second page-specific feature information. The page-specific feature values may numerically represent the individual features of the individual pages. Individual features may have a number of possible variations and/or alternatives. Different variations of a particular feature may be determined to have different feature values. For example, a feature may be predominant font. The predominant font may have one or more variations that may include Times New Roman font, Arial font, Helvetica font, Gotham font, Baskerville font, and/or other fonts. A first page may have a predominant font that is Times New Roman font, a second page may have a predominant font that is Arial font. Times New Roman may be numerically represented as ‘5’ and Arial font may be numerically represented as ‘13’. A first feature value based on predominant font may be determined to be ‘5’ for the first page. A second feature value based on predominant font may be determined to be ‘13’ for the second page. In some implementations, numerical values may be binary values. The binary values may represent the presence or absence of a given feature. For example, a first feature may be the presence of a signature on a page. A feature value of ‘1’ may indicate that there is a signature on the page and a feature value of ‘0’ may indicate that there is not a signature on the page. One or more pages that include a signature may have a feature value of ‘1’ that is determined based on page-specific feature information. One or more pages that do not include a signature may have a feature value of ‘0’ that is determined based on page-specific feature information.

Vector component 110 may be further configured to generate, for the individual pages of the training bundles, a page-specific feature vector. A first page-specific feature vector pertaining to the first page may be generated and may include and/or be based on the first page-specific feature values. A second page-specific feature vector pertaining to the second page may be generated and may include and/or be based on the second page-specific feature values. The individual page-specific feature vectors may have a fixed dimension. The fixed dimension of the page-specific feature vectors may be based on one or more of the number of features characterized by the page-specific feature information, the number of feature values determined for the individual pages, the size and/or numerical value of the one or more feature values, and/or other information. In some implementations, page-specific feature vectors may include one or more sets of bits. The individual sets of bits may be defined by the index of the first bit in the set, the length of the set of bits, and/or other information. Individual sets of bits may include 4 bits, 8 bits, 16 bits, 32 bits, and/or other numbers of bits. In some implementations, individual sets of bits may encode numerical values for individual features. By way of non-limiting example, a first page-specific feature vector may include a first set of bits and a second set of bits. The first set of bits may encode a first feature value that numerically represents a first feature. The second set of bits may encode a second feature value that numerically represents a second feature.

Training component 112 may be configured to train a model, using the training document bundles, to determine whether the first page and the second page are part of different documents. The model may make a determination based on comparing the first page-specific feature vector and the second page-specific feature vector. In some implementations, comparing the first page-specific feature vector and the second page-specific feature vector may include one or more comparisons of one or more sets of bits included in the first page-specific feature vector and one or more sets of bits included in the second page-specific feature vector. By way of non-limiting example, the first page-specific feature vector may include a first set of bits and the second page-specific feature vector may include a second set of bits. The first set of bits and the second set of bits may have the same bit length. The first set of bits and the second set of bits may encode feature values that are based on a first feature. The first bit of the first set of bits and the first bit of the second set of bits may have the same index within their respective page-specific feature vectors. Comparison of the first page-specific feature vector and the second page-specific feature vector may include a comparison of the first set of bits and the second set of bits. In some implementations, the first set of bits and the second set of bits may have similar encoded values. Similar encoded values may indicate the first feature is the same or similar on the first page and the second page.

In some implementations, the determination whether the first page and the second page are part of different documents may be based on comparisons of n-sets of bits in the first page-specific feature vector with corresponding n-sets of bits in the second page-specific feature vector. For example, the 0-set of bits in the first page-specific feature vector corresponds with the 0-set of bits in the second page-specific feature vector, the 1-set of bits in the first page-specific feature vector corresponds with the 1-set of bits in the second page-specific feature vector, the 2-set of bits in the first page-specific feature vector corresponds with the 2-set of bits in the second page-specific feature vector, and so on and so forth. In some implementations, the comparison of the n-sets of bits of the first page-specific feature vector and the n-sets of bits of the second page-specific feature vector may include a calculation of a distance vector. The distance vector may be defined in an n-dimensional space. The n-dimensional space may be determined by the number of features for which page-specific feature information is obtained and/or by the number of sets of bits included in the page-specific feature vectors being compared, such that individual dimensions of the n-dimensional space corresponds to an individual feature. The distance vector may be determined by comparing individual pairs of corresponding sets of bits from the first page-specific feature vector and the second page-specific feature vector. In some implementations, a distance vector may have a large value and indicate large differences in the features of the first page and the second page. In some implementations, a distance vector may have a small value and indicate smaller differences in the features of the first page and the second page. By way of non-limiting example, a distance vector with a small value may indicate the first page and the second page are part of the same document. A distance vector with a large value may indicate the first page and the second page are part of different documents.

Training the model may include comparing the determination with the obtained corresponding document separation markers. Training the model may be done gradually, over 10s, 100s, or 1000s of training document bundles with corresponding document separation markers, and/or other training information.

In some implementations, training the model may include construction of a decision tree and/or usage of other types of machine learning processes. The decision tree may be constructed based on comparisons of page pairs of the training document bundles, such that individual page pairs include a first page and a second page of the training document bundles. In some implementations, the first page-specific feature vector and the second page-specific feature vector may have the same dimension. The first set of bits at a given index of the first page-specific feature vector may represent the same feature as a second set of bits at the same given index of the second page-specific feature vector. The first set of bits and the second set of bits mayhave the same bit length.

In some implementations, the decision tree may include one or more nodes. The nodes may be separated into one or more tree levels. Comparisons between the first page-specific feature vector and the second page-specific feature vector may include traversing through the one or more tree levels of the decision tree. The comparison of the first page-specific feature vector and the second page-specific feature vector may include a comparison of the first set of bits of the first page-specific feature vector and the second set of bits of the second page-specific feature vector. Comparison of the first set of bits of the first page-specific feature vector with the second set of bits of the second page-specific feature vector may result in a determination and/or further determinations. Individual determinations may effectuate individual transitions in the decision tree from a first node in a first tree level to a second node in a second tree level, and so on and so forth.

FIG. 2 illustrates a system 200 configured to utilize a trained model 229 to identify document transitions between adjacent documents within document bundles, in accordance with one or more implementations. In some implementations, system 200 may include one or more servers 202 and/or other components.

Server(s) 202 may be configured by machine-readable instructions 206. Machine-readable instructions 206 may include one or more instruction components. The instruction components may include computer program components. The instruction components may include one or more of model component 208, document component 210, information component 212, vector component 214, determination component 216, presentation component 218, and/or other instruction components.

Model component 208 may be configured to store, in electronic storage 228, a trained model 229. Trained model 229 may have been trained to determine whether a first training page and a second training page are part of different documents. Trained model 229 may make a determination based on comparing a first training-page-specific feature vector pertaining to the first training page and the second training-page-specific feature vector pertaining to the second training page. The first training-page-specific feature vector may include a first set of page-specific feature values that numerically represent individual features of the first training page. The second training-page-specific feature vector may include a second set of page-specific feature values that numerically represent individual features of the second training page.

Document component 210 may be configured to obtain a set of unseparated document bundles. The set of unseparated document bundles may include a first unseparated document bundle and/or may include other unseparated document bundles. The first unseparated document bundle may be stored in a single electronic file. The first unseparated document bundle may include a first page and a second page.

Information component 212 may be configured to determine page-specific feature information pertaining to individual pages of the first unseparated bundle. The page-specific information pertaining to an individual page may characterize features of the individual page for which feature information is obtained. In some implementations, determination and/or selection of these features may be the same or similar as determination of the features by information component 108.

Vector component 214 may be configured to determine, based on the obtained page-specific feature information, page-specific feature values for individual features of the individual pages of the first unseparated bundle. The page-specific feature values may numerically represent the individual features for which feature information is obtained. First page-specific feature values may be determined for the first page and second page-specific feature values may be determined for the second page. In some implementations, determination of these feature values may be the same or similar feature values as determination of the feature values by vector component 110.

Vector component 214 may be further configured to generate, for individual pages of the first unseparated bundle, a page-specific feature vector. A first page-specific feature vector pertaining to the first page may be generated and may include and/or be based on the first page-specific feature values. A second page-specific feature vector pertaining to the second page may be generated and may include and/or be based on the the second page-specific feature values. The individual page-specific feature vectors may have a fixed dimension. In some implementations, generation of these feature vectors may be the same or similar feature values as the generation of the feature vectors by vector component 110.

Determination component 216 may be configured to determine, using a trained model, whether the first page and the second page are part of different documents. In some implementations, the trained model may have been trained by training component 112. Determinations made by determination component 216 may be based on a comparison of the first page-specific feature vector and the second page-specific feature vector. The determination that the first page and the second page are part of different documents may indicate that a document transition occurs between the first page and the second page.

Presentation component 218 may be configured to present, via a user interface, whether a document transition occurs between the first page and the second page, based on one or more determinations made by determination component 216.

Functions executed by the components of system 100 may occur prior to execution of system 200 such that system 100 trains the model 229 (depicted in FIG. 2 ) prior to utilizing the trained model. Upon training, the model may be stored to electronic storage 228. Upon any further training, the model may be re-stored in and/or updated to electronic storage 228.

In some implementations, server(s) 102, client computing platform(s) 104, and/or external resources 126 may be operatively linked via one or more electronic communication links. For example, such electronic communication links may be established, at least in part, via one or more networks 116 such as the Internet and/or other networks. It will be appreciated that this is not intended to be limiting, and that the scope of this disclosure includes implementations in which server(s) 102, client computing platform(s) 104, and/or external resources 126 may be operatively linked via some other communication media.

FIGS. 5A-5B-5C illustrate exemplary scenarios of usage of system 100 and/or system 200 described herein, in accordance with one or more implementations. FIGS. 5A-5B may illustrate scenario 500 including a first page 50, a second page 52, and/or other components. In some implementations, first page 50 and second page 52 may be part of a document bundle. The document bundle may include page break 54 (shown in FIGS. 5A-5B as two interlinked circles). Page break 54 may represent a position in the document bundle between first page 50 and second page 52. In some implementations, page break 54 may have an index position relative to one or more other page breaks in the document bundle. First page 50 may include one or more features 51 a-d. In some implementations, features 51 a-d may characterize the content included in first page 50, the formatting of the content in first page 50, and/or other page-specific information regarding first page 50. Second page 52 may include one or more features 53 a-d. In some implementations, features 53 a-d may characterize the content included in second page 52, the formatting of the content in second page 52, and/or other page-specific information regarding second page 52. Features 51 a and 53 a may be the presence of a logo, and/or other features. Features 51 b and 53 b may be the presence of a barcode and/or other features. Features 51 c and 53 c may be the presence of one or more dates and/or other features. Features 51 d and 53 d may be the presence of a dollar amount (e.g., for a specific parameter, in this case “Ending Balance”) and/or other features. In some implementations features 51 a-d, features 53 a-d, and/or other features may be obtained as feature information by a component similar to or the same as information component 108 and/or information component 210.

Referring to FIGS. 5A-5B, feature values 55 a-d, feature values 56 a-d, and/or other feature values and/or information may be determined for individual ones of features 51 a-d, features 53 a-d, and/or other features. In some implementations first page 50 and second page 52 may have features values that are the same or similar. Feature value 55 a may be a numerical representation of feature 51 a and feature value 56 a may be a numerical representation of feature 53 a. Feature values 55 a and 56 a may be the same due to one or more of feature 51 a and 53 a being the same or similar. Similarly, feature value 55 b may be a numerical representation of feature 51 b and feature value 56 b may be a numerical representation of feature 53 b. Feature values 55 b and 56 b may be the same due to one or more of feature 51 b and 53 b being the same or similar. In some implementations, first page 50 and second page 52 may have features values that are different due to differences in features. Feature 51 c may represent a date that is different than the date represented by feature 53 c. Feature value 55 c may be a numerical representation of feature 51 c and feature value 56 c may be a numerical representation of feature 53 c. By way of non-limiting example, feature 51 c refers to the date in the upper right corner of page 50 (shown as “02/01/XX through 02/08/XX) and may be represented numerically by feature value 55 c as a value of ‘2’. Feature 53 c refers to the date in the upper right corn of page 52 (shown as “03/01/XX through 03/08/XX”) and may be represented numerically by feature value 56 c as a value of ‘3’. Because feature 51 c and 53 c include different dates, the feature values 55 c and 56 c are determined to be different numerical values. Similarly, feature value 55 d may be a numerical representation of feature 51 d and feature value 56 d may be a numerical representation of feature 53 d. Because feature 51 d and 53 d include different dollar amounts, the feature values 55 d and 56 d are also determined to be different numerical values.

FIG. 5C also illustrates scenario 500. In some implementations, page-specific feature vectors may be generated for individual pages of the document bundle. A first page-specific feature vector 57 may pertain to first page 50 (depicted in FIG. 5A) and include feature values 55 a-b (also depicted in FIG. 5A). A second page-specific feature vector 58 may pertain to second page 52 (depicted in FIG. 5B) and include feature values 56 a-d (also depicted in FIG. 5B). In some implementations first page-specific feature vector 57 and/or second page-specific feature vector may be generated by a component that is the same or similar to vector component 110 and/or vector component 214 (depicted in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , respectively). In some implementations, first page-specific feature vector 57 and second page-specific feature vector 58 may have the same dimension and/or length. Herein, first page-specific feature vector 57 and second page-specific feature vector 58 are shown to include decimal numbers, but in other implementations first page-specific feature vector 57, second page-specific feature vector 58, and/or other feature vectors may include binary representations (or encodings) of feature values.

Referring to FIG. 5C, first page-specific feature vector 57 and second page-specific feature vector 58 may be used by trained model 59. In some implementations trained model 59 may be the same as or similar to trained model 229 stored in electronic storage 228 (depicted in FIG. 2 ). In some implementations, model 59 may compare first page-specific feature vector 57 and second page-specific feature vector 58 to determine if first page 50 and second page 52 are part of the same document. Comparison of first page-specific feature vector 57 and second page-specific feature vector 58 may include comparison of the feature values included in first page-specific feature vector 57 and second page-specific feature vector 58. In some implementations feature value 55 a may be compared to 56 a, feature value 55 b may be compared to 56 b, feature value 55 c may be compared to 56 c, feature value 55 d may be compared to 56 d, and/or other comparison. In some implementations, model 59 may determine that first page 50 and second page 52 may be part of the same document.

Referring to FIG. 5B, first page-specific feature vector 57 and second page-specific feature vector 58 may be used by trained model 59. In some implementations trained model 59 may be the same as or similar to trained model 229 stored in electronic storage 228 (depicted in FIG. 2 ). In some implementations, model 59 may compare first page-specific feature vector 57 and second page-specific feature vector 58 to determine if first page 50 and second page 52 are part of the same document. Comparison of first page-specific feature vector 57 and second page-specific feature vector 58 may include comparison of the feature values included in first page-specific feature vector 57 and second page-specific feature vector 58. In some implementations feature value 55 a may be compared to 56 a, feature value 55 b may be compared to 56 b, feature value 55 c may be compared to 56 c, feature value 55 d may be compared to 56 d, and/or other comparison. In some implementations, model 59 may determine that first page 50 and second page 52 may be part of the same document.

A method for identifying page breaks between adjacent documents within document bundles, wherein a document bundle is a combination of two or more separate documents, and wherein the document bundle is stored in a single electronic file, the method comprising: obtaining training information, wherein the training information includes training document bundles and corresponding document separation markers, wherein the training document bundles include a first training bundle combining at least a first document and a second document, wherein a document separation marker indicates a page break in the first training bundle between the first document and the second document, wherein the first document includes a first page, and wherein the second document includes a second page; determining page-specific feature information pertaining to individual pages of the first training bundle, wherein the page-specific information pertaining to an individual page characterizes features of the individual page, and wherein the page-specific feature information includes first page-specific feature information pertaining to the first page and second page-specific feature information pertaining to the second page; determining, based on the page-specific feature information, page-specific feature values for individual features of the individual pages of the first training bundle, wherein the page-specific feature values numerically represent the individual features of the individual pages, and wherein first page-specific feature values are determined for the first page based on the first page-specific feature information, and wherein second page-specific feature values are determined for the second page based on the second page-specific feature information; generating, for the individual pages of the first training bundle, page-specific feature vectors, such that a first page-specific feature vector pertaining to the first page is generated based on the first page-specific feature values, and a second page-specific feature vector pertaining to the second page is generated based on the second page-specific feature values, wherein a first set of bits at a given index of the first page-specific feature vector represents the same feature as a second set of bits at the given index of the second page-specific feature vector; and training a model, using the training document bundles, to determine whether the first page and the second page are part of different documents, wherein training the model includes construction of a decision tree, wherein the decision tree is constructed based on comparisons of the page-specific feature vectors of adjacent pages of the training document bundles, and wherein training the model includes comparing the determination with the corresponding document separation markers.
 8. The method of claim 7, wherein the decision tree includes one or more nodes, wherein the nodes are separated into one or more tree levels, and wherein the comparisons of the page-specific feature vectors include traversing through the one or more tree levels of the decision tree.
 9. The method of claim 7, wherein the comparisons of the page-specific feature vectors include a particular comparison of the first set of bits at the given index of the first page-specific feature vector with the second set of bits at the given index of the second page-specific feature vector.
 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the particular comparison results in a particular determination, and wherein the particular determination effectuates a transition in the decision tree from a first node in a first tree level to a second node in a second tree level.
 11. The method of claim 7, wherein the individual page-specific feature vectors have a fixed dimension.
 12. The method of claim 7, wherein the first set of bits and the second set of bits have the same bit length.
